DAVID HOCKNEYwas born in 1937 in Bradford, England, and received his education at the local art school as well as the Royal College of Art in London. His artistic pursuits are incredibly diverse, including painting, collage, and, more recently, digital creations through a series of prints on the iPad. His works display semi-abstract representations of family life, human relationships, flowers, animals, and seasonal changes.
In 1964, he moved to Los Angeles and gained fame for his depictions of the sun-drenched landscapes of the American West Coast. Over more than 60 years, he has continuously explored the possibilities of artistic expression. Currently settled in Normandy, France, he remains actively engaged in creating new works.
In 2017, to commemorate his 80th birthday, retrospective exhibitions of his work were held at Tate Britain (London), the Centre Pompidou (Paris), and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York). Hockney is acclaimed as one of the most talented contemporary artists.
